My Favorite Burger: Grass-Fed Beef Sliders With a Green Twist

These green sliders aren’t necessarily pretty, but man, they are good! This is a recipe from Nomnompaleo with a few adjustments. This is my favorite burger. I can hear some of you thinking, “But my kids won’t like them because they’re green.” And that may be true, but they really do taste so good that I think it’s worth a shot. Worst case, you have some fantastic leftovers for the week.

Ingredients

1o ounces frozen chopped spinach

1 tablespoon Kerrygold (or any grass-fed) butter

1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion (from 1/2 medium onion)

1/2 pound mushrooms, finely chopped (you can skip the fresh mushrooms and onions and just use 1 teaspoon of onion powder instead if you’re in a hurry)

1/4 cup coconut milk

1 pound grass-fed ground beef

1/4 cup coconut flour

1 medium garlic clove, minced

2 teaspoons celtic salt

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

Allow the frozen spinach to thaw then put it into a colander and strain. You may want to squeeze it with your hands to really get the water out.

Sauté the finely chopped mushrooms in butter. Once cooked, put them into a large bowl with the strained spinach.

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well by hand.

Form small slider-sized burgers.

Warm your cast iron skillet on medium to medium-high heat. Place the burgers in pan, flipping once they are brown on one side. Continue to cook on the other side until they reach the desired temperature.

Enjoy!

I hope y’all enjoy them as much as we did. I swear they are so much better than they look. They are also fabulous dipped in a tomato or marinara sauce.
